Fast installation/removal building partition structure

ABSTRACT

A fast installation/removal building partition structure is applicable to an indoor or outdoor partition wall and includes a top retention member, a bottom retention member, and a plurality of form boards. The top retention member and the bottom retention member are respectively set at top side and floor of an indoor or outdoor space. The form boards each include two surface panels, which define therebetween a receiving chamber for reducing weight. The form boards each have four side edges each forming a connection section, whereby the connection sections are coupled to the top and bottom retention members through projection-and-groove engagement. The connection sections located between the form boards are coupled to each other through projection-and-groove engagement. As such, the form boards can be conveniently and efficiently installed and removed for easy transportation to achieve easy installation, construction, repeated use, and adjustment as an indoor or outdoor partition wall.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to a building partitionstructure, and more particularly to a faster installation/removalbuilding partition structure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

To improve the usability of an indoor space of a building, the indoorspace is often divided into separate partitioned spaces through theinstallation of partition walls. The partition walls have the generalproperties of being easy to install, construct, adjust, and transportand being repeatedly usable. However, the partition walls should also beuseful as a partition of an outdoor space. Heretofore, the partitionwalls are generally of a structure that is not easy to install,construct, and adjust and are incapable of repeated use andtransportation.

Thus, the present invention aims to provide a technical solution thathelps eliminate the above-discussed drawbacks of the conventionalpartition wall.

Further, to suit the needs for sound isolation, fire resistance,temperature regulation and the likes, structures, such as Styrofoam,stone powders, and water sacks (not shown), can be placed in each orsome of the receiving chambers S to achieve the function of soundisolation, fire resistance, and temperature regulation and also toimprove the structural strength and reduce weight. This is equallyapplicable to the form boards 40/60.

Referring to FIG. 3, if desired, an indoor or outdoor partition wallconstructed in accordance with the present invention can be providedwith a cutoff 44 in for example the form board 40 for installation of adoor. The form board 40 that comprises the cutoff 44 can be set at anyarbitrary location and provides repeated use.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the present invention may comprise avertical post like coupling member 70 arranged among a plurality of formboards 50 to increase the number of the partitioned spaces. In theinstant embodiment, a structure that forms a 90-degree corner andjointed to two partition walls is taken as an example of embodying thepresent invention, wherein, generally, a vertical post like couplingmember 70 is arranged between two form boards 50. The coupling member 70has a horizontal cross-section that is of an L-shape having two lateralsides each forming an insertion slot 71, whereby the two form boards 50have connection sections 52 that are in the form of projectionsinsertable into and engageable with the insertion slots 71 of theconnection sections 52 to allow the form boards 50 and the couplingmember 70 to couple together to form an L-shaped partition wall. A topretention member 10 and a bottom retention member 20 are made in shapesthat correspond to the shape of L-shaped partition wall.

Referring to FIG. 6, the present invention also provides an embodimentthat comprises a structure having three partition walls, wherein,generally, a vertical post like coupling member 70 is arranged amongthree form boards 50. The coupling member 70 has a horizontalcross-section that is of a T-shape and the coupling member 70 has threelateral side edges each forming an insertion slot 71, so that connectionsections 52 of the form boards 50, which are in the form of projections,are insertable into the insertion slots 71, whereby the form boards 50and the coupling member 70 are coupled together to form a T-shapedpartition wall. A top retention member 10 and a bottom retention member20 are made in shapes that correspond to the T-shaped partition wall.

Referring to FIG. 7, the present invention also provides an embodimentthat comprises a structure having four partition walls, wherein,generally, a vertical post like coupling member 70 is arranged amongfour form boards 50. The coupling member 70 has a horizontalcross-section that is of a cruciform shape and the coupling member 70has four lateral side edges each forming an insertion slot 71, so thatconnection sections 52 of the form boards 50, which are in the form ofprojections, are insertable into the insertion slots 71, whereby theform boards 50 and the coupling member 70 are coupled together to form acruciform partition wall. A top retention member 10 and a bottomretention member 20 are made in shapes that correspond to the cruciformpartition wall.

Referring to FIG. 8, in an embodiment of the present invention, thecoupling member 70 has a top end fixed to the top retention member 10. Aretention base 72 can be set up on for example the floor or ground andthe retention base 72 comprises an insertion hole 721 formed therein.The insertion hole 721 comprises projecting flange like limitingsections 722 formed therein. A bottom end of the coupling member 70 isinsertable into the insertion hole 721 and supported on and positionedby the limiting sections 722. As such, the coupling member 70 may helpimprove the structural strength of the partition wall and also, thecoupling member 70 is made easy and convenient to install and remove.
